Robot Blues Lyrics

Artist: The Incredible String Band
Album: U

Down in Robot City, you might think it's play play playDown in Robot City, you might think it's play play playBut a Number 5 Robot he must work in all the night and day

Number 1 come by, he give my work to meOil the flowers, fix the showers, clean the electronic treesShine the light, fix it right, now listen carefullyDon't you go romancing with that pretty Number Threeand that's why, why I got the Robot Blues,Down in my heart compartmentDown in my old magnetic sole shoes

When I see that Number 3 I get charge all in my dialWhen I see that Number 3 my piston fills with oilYou know what I'm talking aboutBut she likes that number 1 because he's rich withall my toil toil toil

That Number 3 she charm the heart of any robot manMoving her body like an old tin canIf I could get my claws on herI would lubricate her freeI've got a perfect action why won't she play with me

and that's why, why I got the Robot Blues,Down in my heart compartmentDown in my old magnetic sole shoes

Well I think I'll get a ray gunI will see what that will doI think I'll get a ray gunI think I'll get a ZZ Special QI will blast the Number 1's gasketsand his coils I will refuse to renew

He seen me coming, sneak up from behindswitched off my vision and he left me stone blindI could not see to blast himhere's the ending of my taleHe went of with Number 3 and I cursed to no avail

and that's why, why I got the Robot Blues,Down in my heart compartmentDown in my old magnetic sole shoes
